On Wednesday, a young crypto enthusiast revealed plans to embark on an exciting journey of climbing Mount Everest to plant an orange flag with the Bitcoin symbol. The 23-year-old Bitcoiner Dadvan Yousuf will ascend the highest mountain in the world to raise financial literacy awareness.
On X, Yousuf confirmed that he would ascend the mountain between April and May. Yousuf’s hike to Mount Everest primarily aims to raise awareness of financial literacy in undeveloped countries.
Bitcoiners Seek to Raise Awareness of Financial Literacy
In his tweet, Yousuf confessed that he invested $340 in Bitcoin in 2011. Since then, Yousuf has seen his crypto investment attain the desired growth. The returns generated from crypto investment challenged Yousuf to venture into other profitable digital assets, including nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and Ether.
The Iraq national confessed that his crypto investment generated $300 million in January 2022. The profit realized from these ventures encouraged Yousuf to expand his business to Dubai. For years, the Everest hike has turned out to be a disaster.
Despite the challenges climbers face on Mount Everest, the Eco Everest Expedition offers the interested individual an opportunity to reach the summit. In early 2023, around 18 individuals lost their lives while attempting to reach the summit.
Crypto Investors Plan to Climb Mt Everest
Mostly, the climbers are affected by the harsh climate when ascending the mountain. In a recent report, environmentalists raised concerns about an increased pollution rate on Everest.
They noted that climbers have carelessly disposed of oxygen tanks, food, and trash when ascending the top of the mountain. The environmentalist lamented that increased pollution erodes the beauty of Everest Summit, which sits above 8000 meters.
On his journey to the top of Mount Everest, Yousuf vowed to assist the environmentalist’s efforts to bring down all the trash. He assured the crypto community that he would not find any trace of plastic containers on the mountain.
Benefits of Bitcoin
The Bitcoin enthusiast argued that preserving the Everest beauty was essential to him. He anticipates to leave only footprints when ascending 8849 metres up the mountain.
Besides supporting the preservation of Everest, Yousuf will plant a Bitcoin flag on the mountain. He argued that since he invested in crypto Bitcoin transformed his life.
The young investor envisions that BTC will soon reach its all-time high. Interestingly, if Yousuf’s journey to Everest materializes, he will join other climbers seeking to promote cryptocurrency on mountaintops.
In 2023, crypto investors revealed plans to plant a Ledger wallet at the Everest Summit. On the fateful day, one of the sherpas guiding the group of climbers lost his life.
Shortly after the incident, a renowned campaigner for Bitcoin lighting revealed plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The trip to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro was financed through Bitcoin and Nostr donations.
